NEW package discount starting TODAY 10/2

[TaraPA]

YES NittanyLionGirl - I did the same thing - had my stay 12/5-11 reserved with the old MYW package that expired 9/30 - this new promo code (scroll back to post 2 or 3 for the actual code - I forget but think it was ZBD or something like that) - is an extension of that promo - and some people seem to be getting a cheaper rate. Call call call! It seems from here that more are being denied the new code than are receiving an additional discount, but it never hurts to try. Go Penn State!

so maybe i am just a bit confused, but by following the link above, it mentions value resorts, but is the offer good for all resorts just with a different discount?

This package is just for value resorts.

 

[TaraPA]

I know it says Value Resorts online but I had it applied to AKL Savannah View - so I'm not sure why the Disney website is saying that!

All DVC properties are also booked that week. (per my DVC friend who checked for me and thelack of being able to pay outright for them)

the first two weeks of December are one of the busiest times of year for DVC. these weeks have a low 'points' schedule.

Pop Warner is also that week, the Christmas parade is taped the first weekend, etc.

THey are about to loose me. I am not willing to pay disney prices so if they dont come out with some sort of deal soon for Jan then we will skip disney and do universal.

Enough package deals for December, lets look to the future disney!

I just called the CRO, and according to them, the price that I paid with the pre-existing MYW code is the exact same price as it would be now with the newest code. Does anyone know how much a moderate resort rate would be with the newest code? I'm tempted to try and upgrade my current reservation!

Based on last year, I don't expect any deals for Jan until the end of October - possibly 11/1....

The new code being the same prices as the old code is correct.

When the VISA code came out and then the general package code came, the CM could quote me a package price, but they could never add it to my existing ressie...there were never any rooms at the Poly available for the code.

Last night I tried again and VOILA....I got to use the code!

AS for the price of the mods...try either calling back or the website...although I must say I don't have much luck with the website.

 

[nittanyliongirl02]

That's great that you got to use the code! Did you already have a pre-existing code as well, and they allowed you to apply the new code to that rate? (sorry, i'm slow sometimes!) When I asked him about it, he didn't even try plugging things into the computer, he just told me it was the same price. I may try calling back for the mod resort, and like you...i NEVER have luck with the websites....they always seem to be out-of-order when i use them!

I had a code - ZBY or something like that - whatever the Disney VSA Magic Your Way package code was for booking thru 9/30. At that time that was cheaper than AAA or the email pin code I had received. Apparaently this "new" code is just new letters to the same old ZBY code - for whatever reason they just extended the booking date beyond 9/30 - BUT for some odd reason some (few) of us are getting even better deals - not sure why but I'm not complaining - I saved $102! I just wish it was working out better for others. I'd definitely call back - it seems like the CMs at CRO are just as confused over the new code as we are. If they won't even type the code in to check I would call back for sure & get someone else that will. I had the old code on a ressie for 11/11-17 that may be back in the system now if anyone is looking for AKL Savannah for those dates - my TA forgot to cancel those dates out when I booked the Dec. dates - I just got the invoice for those dates yesterday & called to cancel it today.

Nittanyliongirl02 - call call call & call again! I swear I've called 5 times in one day & been told many different things!

I originally had a AAA ressie, THEN when I couldn't use the VISA code I took the AP rate (even though I didn't HAVE an AP), THEN switched it to a room-only code, THEN FINALLY last night I was able to book the code.

So each time I changed the codes I gave up the previous one and took the new one. Sometimes it is all about patience. I knew what the code price was when the VISA deal came out. It has been KILLING ME to know I could be paying less that what I was paying. Luckily, I was able to get the code for my trip. Never had toswitch resorts or change my dates.

I am one happy camper!

NittanyLionGirl02 - I think I've confused you (I think I confuse MYSELF most of the time!) Let me PM you & see if I can clear up the confusion - BUT from what I see we are in the same boat - had the MYW pkg ressie - then the new code came out & for some reason I got to save $102, so you should be able to as well, as long as the pkg is available for your dates. However most folks on here aren't having any luck. PM coming your way!

I priced on out and it is about $25 more than the old one. Pop Century, 8 nights, 12/16-12/24, with Dining.

I have a hold on the dates that I want to stay at Port Orleans French Quarter directly with Disney for the same exact amount that I currently paid for the same time frame at Coronado Springs. The CS is booked through my local AAA office and I have until 10/10 to make any changes without being charged.

Called AAA Travel and actually got someone on the phone (my local office closes at 5pm EST), so I'm not sure where I called. She was very nice and said that she was having problems pulling up the website that they use with Disney, so she's going to call them directly to try and make the change and will call me back once it's done.

I'm sure that CSR is lovely, but really have my heart set on the French Quarter.

Terk - please let us know what the outcome is - and good luck!

Got the French Quarter!!!!! Same exact package & price!! I am sooooo excited!!!! All of my requests (special room cleaning, non-smoking room, etc.) was transferred to the new reservation and she added my building preference.

Thank you Cinderumbrella for the PM!! Would have missed this one. Thanks again!!!!!

YIPPEEE!!!!!

Ok. I'm sorry, but I cannot stop smiling!!! I still can't believe I got the resort I have wanted since I first booked this trip!!!

 

[adisneynut]

Well I called adn was told that there was no difference in the ratr between ZDN or ZBD the Disney Visa code for our dates 12/23-12/31 at CSR.

What is a special room cleaning request?

Thanks

 

[Terk-1]

What is a special room cleaning request?

A special cleaning is done when you have allergies or asthma. They use special, less harsh cleaning products (like Simply Green) to clean the bathrooms and replace the bedding with new sheets, blankets & pillows (no feathers). If you booked your room/package directly through Disney, then you can call and ask them to make this request on your reservation or they will refer you to another department that can do this. If you booked through a travel agent (like AAA), then the TA needs to call to make this request. They will ask you what medical issues you have to justify this type of cleaning. I've got environmental allergies that tend to act up bad in hotels, if they have feathered beds or pillows or use some harsh chemicals. My TA explained this to Disney and the "special cleaning" is marked on my reservation. Also, this guarentees a non-smoking room (which also sets off my allergies).
